Health - 9 November 2007

A few years ago I jammed my 3rd and 4th vertabre in my lower back. Now I have occassional back pain, but when I do it's so bad that I can barely stand up. I have been to the doctor, and chiropractor for it. Can someone tell me give me some advice what more I can do for it, besides workout to strengthen the muscles around it, and take medication to mask the pain?

My friend was in Korea and had to take the morning after pill. She was asking me some questions about it, but it must have been a different kind of pill. It was only one pill rather than two. Do you know anything about the morning after pill in Korea and its effectiveness? She has had her period since then, but is late now and we are just trying to figure out why. thanks in advance

How many calories do you have to burn each day or week to lose weight?
I know that it takes eating 500 calories less per day to lose one pound a week!

If I ate 1000 calories per day, and burned around 400-500 calories per day with exercise....how much weight would I lose per week?

Right now I am 166 pounds and Im 5'2 (in case you were wondering)

Could you be obsessed or addicted to talking to a school counselor. I feel like everyday i have to go and talk to him. we had some pretty bad family problems that he helped me with. but now i cant stop going to see him.

he listens and gives me attention. i dont get that at home or with my friends. im the outsider all the time when it comes to hanging out. i never feel like i belong when we hang out. i feel uncomfertable in my own skin.

could there still be something bugging me about the family problems or am i just using him to get attention?

If I do spinning for about 6 hours a week for three weeks, How much body fat will I be able to lose?
I already have muscles.
I started spinning on and off for the past week and I noticed that I am getting more defined already around my cabs, parts of my legs, my collar bones are showing more.
Even my stomach is sliming down
My inner thighs for some reason doesn't have any fat.
Well it does but not as much as I would suspect


Only thing is that my outer thighs are wide and it has a lot of fat so I look disproportioned
My waist as fat as well

Anyway, I just want to get back into shape.

I just want to see how much I would lose in those three weeks because I want to look right in this dress I have for an event

But after that I will continue to eat properly and exercise regularly

Any suggestions?

I have SAD, which quite a few other people suffer from. Besides having deep depression with bad episodes, during the Winter with the grey sky and the cold weather I hibernate. I have to leave all my lights on in the day, that helps.
But no matter how I plan, when it hits its awful.

I have never heard of this procedure, even with 17 years of caregiving in a hospice environment. My mom is scared to death. Can anyone tell me what this involves? Is it as risky as it sounds? Is this common practice?

To fill you in a bit.... he had prostate and bladder cancer. They did surgery and removed the tumor. Since the surgery he has not been able to tolerate any kind of oral nutricion (not even water). It's been a week. Now they are saying they HAVE to do this procedure. We NEED real info on this. I promised my mom I'd research it for her, but I don't even know where to begin. Any info would be greatly appriciated! Thanks so much.

Does weight really matter if you look slim and tall?

Additional Details
My neice is 10 years old, weighs 110 pounds, and is 4 foot 11 inches. She is tall from her grandpa's genes and looks slim. But she is overweight! (not to the point she is obesed)
Her persuit is to be a model, she has the stuff, but her weight is the problem.
--
I have told her about losing weight, but she has told me that it's too tempting and she can't do it.
She barely eats candy, by the way.
